Filipinos have a strong affection for their family members residing overseas, and they often showcase this love by sending presents and care packages. However, the task of international shipping can be challenging. To resolve this issue, ShipIt has launched a cutting-edge platform that strives to simplify the process and make it more user-friendly. This is particularly relevant now, as the express delivery industry in the Philippines is experiencing explosive growth, highlighting the country’s tremendous potential for international logistics opportunities.
Founded by 1Export in 2021, ShipIt has made rapid progress, delivering over 2500 packages to over 50 nations. To streamline the process of sending love across borders, ShipIt has launched a new platform, www.shipit.ph. The platform offers a hassle-free experience for senders, allowing them to effortlessly book, pay for, and schedule their shipments online, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
“The vision for ShipIt is to automate the entire process of international shipping and transform what used to be a taxing procedure in order to make it easier for customers to send packages abroad without leaving their homes, just like how local delivery services do it. We want to introduce a faster, cheaper and more efficient shipping system in the Philippines. Before the introduction of the website, every step was done manually. Shipping in person takes hours, even days. With ShipIt, it only takes minutes,” according to Mel Nava, CEO of 1Export.
Apart from the cheap shipping rates, boxes are offered free of charge to all shippers booking online, along with packing services. Additionally, ShipIt picks up packages within Metro Manila at no cost.
Saying farewell to tedious forms and customs documents, booking a shipment online at www.shipit.ph has never been easier. Users simply need to enter essential information like item, quantity, weight, and addresses into the website to receive a preliminary estimate. Upon completing payment, packages can either be dropped off or picked up. For shippers with recurring transactions, multiple addresses can be stored online for convenience. Once a package has been shipped, tracking details are always available. The usual experience with shipping abroad can be tedious and inconvenient.
“Packages are usually held at customs because of different things and requirements. To make it easier and hassle-free for OFWs and their families, we do everything we can and prepare the documents they need. So during the holidays, for example, families can immediately get the packages within 5-7 days and feel the love during holidays or any occasion,” Nava added.
The ShipIt website features a rate calculator which instantly shows estimated shipping costs based on the customers’ package weight and dimensions. For shippers unsure of the box size, shipping rates to all countries are found online and on their social media pages, too. Shippers can reach ShipIt through Facebook or Instagram to ask or inquire about the rates and contents of their packages.
“It’s my first time to ever ship out of the country but the experience was easy and hassle-free with ShipIt. I didn’t even have to leave the house, which was convenient in these times. Hurray for no lines, no waiting, and seamless transactions and payment modes, which is how I always expected shipping internationally to be,” says V. De Guzman, a first-time shipper.
ShipIt also offers a wide range of service options for commercial shipments through ShipIt Fulfillment, ShipIt Amazon, ShipIt Forwarding, ShipIt eBay, and ShipIt Import.
No matter the location of your loved ones, ShipIt ensures they receive the love they deserve. Experience seamless and hassle-free international shipping at www.shipit.ph and send love beyond borders today.
